Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL +25: MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 59 (Model card 14, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters, the context and the languages (in the metadata) are on the card.); Qwen3.5-397B-A17B 34 (The card covers five of the seven items and misses limitations and a cut-off (14).)
- Agent interface, MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL +15: MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (3,868 characters), with a copy in tokenizer_config.json.); Qwen3.5-397B-A17B 70 (The template ships in the repository (20) and renders several tool calls per turn for a model trained for tool use (20).)
- Risk, Qwen3.5-397B-A17B +10: MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 45 (File safety 5, the weights are safetensors, but the dflash folder's mask_embedding.pt is a pickle beside them (15).); Qwen3.5-397B-A17B 55 (Safetensors only with no repository code run on load or to build prompts gives file safety 25, and files in the Qwen organisation the publisher's GitHub links t…)
- Reach, Qwen3.5-397B-A17B +5: MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 65 (Memory 5, the smallest build at 4 bits or better is ggml-org's MXFP4 GGUF, 168.93 GB with its projector, and 168.93 GB × 1.2 = 202.7 GB, within 256 GB.); Qwen3.5-397B-A17B 70 (Memory scores 0, since even the smallest 4-bit build, LM Studio's MLX 4-bit at 223.9 GB, needs about 269 GB with a fifth added, and Alibaba's own GPTQ-Int4 abou…)
